From our Washington Correspondent


WASHINGTON. D. c., april 20, 1887.
Editor of Spectator The anniversary OF
the day upon which the slaves in the Dis
trict of Columbia were liberated, is a great
day for colored people, and the most elabo-
rate preparation had been made for cele-
bratiDg the twenty-fifth anniversary on
Monday last, and had it net been for the
inclemency Of the weather, there is NO
doubt but that the parade would have been
the most gorgeous affair ever given by the
colored people of the District. The origi-
nal plan contemplated review by the
President at the White House at twelve
o'clock, but it was late in the afternoon be-
fore the procession was formed and during
the entire march the rain fell in torrents
1t can readily be imagined that by the time
the White House grounds we're reached the
procession presented sorry appearance
The rain had completely wllted the bright
colored banners, uniforms and sashes, and
the 'sQueen of Love and Beauty" who was
to have ridden among her maids OF honor
upon gaily decked wagon, was consigned
to huge covered omnibus. Among the
features of the parade were colored military
organizations of Washington, which were
out in full force despite the rain, and they
presented very creditable appearance
The President reviewed the parade from
the portieo, and saluted the Marshal as he
passed by removing his hat. The exercises
of the day were brought to close by an
evening meeting held in Lincoln Memorial
Church. An admission fee of fifteen cents
had been charged to the evening meeting,
but when Col. Williams the orator of the
evening learned of the fact he declared that
he would leave the hall if the money was
not returned, and the admission fee was
given back to each person in attendance
before the exercises of the evening were
commenced. The meeting was we'll at
tended and the proceedings were interesting.
The liberality Of Congress in providing
appropriations for the erection of Govern
ment buildings, and the Improvements OF
parks and public grounds has rendered it
possible to carry into effect many im-
provements long since contemplated, but
which have not until now been carried out
on account of lack of available funds. The
work of clearing the site for the new Con-
gressional Library building is nearly COM
plete and work upon the excavation for the
foundation will be commenced at once
The marble terrace about the Capitol
building will soon be flashed, and a force
of laborers have been set at work upon the
foundation of the grand staircase which is
to be built at the west front of the build
ing. The new fire-proof building which is
being built for the Army Medical Museum,
and Medical Library of the Surgeon Gene
RAILS Office will soon be completed.
The bronze statue of Ex-President JAS
A. Garfield which is to be unveiled on the
18th of May, has been placed upon its ped
estal at the Maryland Avenue entrance to
the Capital grounds, and is considered to
be ore of the finest of the numerous pieces
of statuary in the National Capital.

County and District Offices in Rcckbridge.

| All the county officers in Rockbridge are
Democrats and most of them have been re.
turned by the people to the stations they
fill at every election since 1870. This is
the case with David E. Moore, Common.
wealth's Attorney; J. D. Anderson,
Treasurer j. c. Bonde, Circuit Court
Clerk and S. P. Moore, County Court
Clerk. Mr.. r. B. Witt, Sheriff, though
not SO long in Office, is, like the others, OF
the very best class of competent and faith
full agents of the people, who have always
illustrated in their service that standard OF
excellence which says s'public office is a
public trust" They are all candidates fol
reelection. No nominations by primary
or otherwise have been necessary. There
are no Independents, and all of them will
poll more than their party strength.
The Districts are organizing. Last
Saturday, Lexington and the South river
districts, had meetings. Mr.. A. T. Barclay
WAS chosen for Supervisor in the first, and
Mr.. John Fl. Whitmore in the aecond, with
full tickets for the minor offices. Mr..
Barclay is a gentleman of the highest
qualifications, and some years since served
his people in the same position to which he
has been again called with the understand
ing that they will not consider any disin-
clination on his part to take the field. An
experienced editor of former times, prac.
teal and successful farmer, and the Presi-
dent and Manager of the Lexington Manu-
featuring Company, together with fine at
tainments and culture, he is peculiarly the
man 10 redeem his district and to have a
good share in directing the progress and
development of his county.
Mr.. Whitmore, through whom the South
side district will maintain its present Demo
cratic position and influence in the County
board, is the well-known and experienced
farmer who directs affairs on the celebrated
'Irish Creek estate' on the Shenandoah
Valley railroad. His people, for some
years, have desired 70 call him to the pub
lie service for which he is new chosen. He
is thorough practical farmer and is sue
cessful in handling livestock. He has an
extensive acquaintance, and is popular
above his party strength, as the day OF
election will prove.
The Democrats Of the Natural Bridge
district have also organized, retaining Mr..
N. B. Reese, the present incumbent, on the
County board. He is worthy representa-
tive of the people of that fine section of the
county and will be returned by handsome
majority.
The Democrats of Rockbridge are de-
telmined not to repeat the error of last Fall
when apathy allowed a minority power to
cast the majority of votes. They are Or
ganizing, not only for the present but for
the future, and whilst impressed with the
Importance of the contest to come, they at
tach that high consideration to the one now
at hand that their material interests SO i'm
peratively demand.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1887.
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

We publish the ticket nominated by the
primary election, in which was cast the
fullest vote by far that was eyer given in
primary in this county before. The large
vote given fairly represented the wishes OF
the majority of the party, and the ticket
nominated was fairly nominated, and should
receive the cordial support of every Demo
GRAFT, whether he voted for or against those
nominated, or whether he did not vote at
all. Those who voted for the candidates,
who were SO fortunate as to be nominated,
will, of course, vote for them at the cleo
ton in May; but whilst they will be doing
right to do SO, they will not deserve as much
credit for SO doing as those who voted
against them, or failed to vote at all in the
primary, for they will only be voting for
their preference, and consequently make no
sacrifice, whilst those who failed to secure
the nomination of their choice, will, in vot-
ing for the ticket nominated, sacrifice their
opposition, and it may be even their preju-
dices, on the altar of their party for the
Gus and commendabe act than those who
vote simply for their choice. Let it not be
said after the election that there was sim
gle Democrat in the county who declined to
vote for the ticket nominated because he
he did not vote in the primary for the can
didates nominated. If the ticket nominated
is not the one that should have been, the
responsibility is no longer upon the indi-
vidual voter. He is wholly relieved of that
responsibility, and the duty that now de-
wolves upon him is to give the ticket his
earnest and cordial support, for that is his
duty as member of the party which the
ticket represents. He does not vote for the
persons constituting the ticket as indiutdu-
ais, but he votes for them as the nominees
of his party, and that it is his duty to do,
whether he approves them Or not.
The two first steps towards the accom-
plishment Of glorious victory for the
Democratic party of this county have been
first was that Of the wise action of the ma.
jority of the County Committee in resolving
to preserve the organization of the party
and in adopting the plan of the movable
ballot-box to nominate ticket; and the sec
ond was that Of the voters generally ii
casting full vots in the primary. The
third and last and most important is thai
of casting full and united vote in May fol
the ticket nominated. If that be done, the
Democrats will have performed their duty
and q glorious victory will be the happy re
suit, and each voter will have the crafty
ing consciousness that he faithfully per
formed his duty.

CLEVELAND SAYS HE WILL NOT BE CAN.
DIDATE FOR RE-ELEcTIoN.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, I'm.
der date Of the 22nd instant, says
SIT seems to be taken for granted in some
quarters that President Cleveland will be
the only person prominently brought before
the next democratic national convention
So fixed has this impression become tina,
the politicians of both parties, in their prog
nostications as to future chances and prob.
liabilities, regard it as an accepted fact
The President also, just as, by the way, has
been the case with all Presidents, is con-
stantly credited with laying the wires to
secure his OWE denomination. On the ether
hand, some of the closest friends of the
President have maintained all along that be
was not aud would not be candidate for re-
election, and have accepted as finality and
in its broadcast sense the declaration in re-
ference to this matter in his letter of &C
eeptance of the nomination in 1884 That
the President stands by the construction of
his language is evidenced in conversation
which took place one day this week between
him and distinguished Senator of his own
party. Tho two were discussing the politi-
cal situation, when the Senator remarked
"Mr. President. your administration Is GER
tainly satisfactory to the country, and has
inspired it's confidence. Your denomination
is assured, and the nomination means an
election The President at once replied,
and with strong emphasis. He said he was
most pleased to be told that the country ap-
proved his management eff public affairs =
He had endeavored faithfully, conscientious
ly and earnestly to fulfill all the pledges
which he had made He wanted the PEG.
pie to believe and know that his admins
tration was for the whole country, and this
was bis aim and ambition. But, he said,
when he came to the presidency he had
made up his mind deliberately that his re-
cord was to DE completed in the four years
for which he was elected, and that under
no circumstances would he again be can
didate. Time had strengthened this de-
termination. He was not and would not be
a candidate, and his decision was irrevoca-
BILE. The President was SO earnest and un-
reserved in this declaration that the Sena-
tor was profoundly convinced, and the more
so that the President turned the cSnversa-
ton Immediately into another channel, and
would pei NIT no recurrence to that topic"
